|    Another issue with snaps    |

      From: lws4art@gmail.com              Okay Canonical, how come your snap version of Firefox does not       automatically upgrade when other packages do and the deb version did?       How does this improve security if non-techies are blithely surfing the       internet with outdated browsers?              I have converted a number of folks to Ubuntu years ago to wean them off       of running unsupported Windows XP. All was good. Many who have never       installed an OS were are to upgrade their systems to new LTS versions       unassisted (and unwittingly!) But got a call from one that websites were       flagging her as using an outdated browser. Yep, her version was v127.0       and was the snap version in 24.04 LTS. Probably the first version when       she upgraded to 24.04. Do you now have to run command line              sudo snap refresh firefox              periodically in order to keep firefox patched? How is this       nubie-friendly? Normally I would use the deb PPA which does keep firefox       up to date.              --       Take care,              Jonathan       -------------------       LITTLE WORKS STUDIO       http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
